When time permits, I put about 5-6 hours into education on REI.My Questions are:  1) With this kind of schedule, can someone suggest a pathway for me that I could learn and implement over the next 2-5 months and begin to transition to REI as a solid income stream ?

The value of your "property" isn't really based on its physical characteristics, location, upgrades, etc....it's based on its cash flow stream: I don't want your building, I want its cash flow.

I really like the property as far as it natural characteris tics such as a seasonal stream, south facing slope, pond possibilities

I like to call it multiple streams of income.

We can sent aside a large sum of savings from the added income stream if we keep our current standard of living.  

Many times it is in the foreclosed owner's interest to pay market rent to the new owner than it is to abandon the income stream.  

Also keep in mind that the bank should also add the income of the new bldgs to your income stream.

@Richard Palmer It was suggested to me on a previous topic I posted on BP to know incorporate now because I have no real income stream or properties.

That being said, I think if our ultimate intention is to create streams of income that don't require our constant attention - this can definitely be done by finding the right people to handle the most time-consuming tasks for us.Seems like the initial battle is to build up those cash reserves through things like wholesaling, flipping, bird dogging, saving money from the day job, etc.

Hold if you want the ongoing income stream.
